Some help with a browser hijack??

Well unfortunately running the Panda Software did not fix the problem...

I followed tiny's advice and grabbed a copy of AVG Antivirus and the problem was identified right away by AVG even before the installation was complete!

For the record I was wrong and I missed the virus in the Running Processes window.

The application was mcc.exe and while AVG Antivirus could NOT fix the issue by itself, I was able to remove it by following the steps outlined here.

Sure enough the urls I was being redirected to were listed right in the Windows Registry.

Thanks to tiny and to all who replied here and via email - you're the best!
